parallel, is TO be voted on al tie
election IN November, the leglsla-
ture has 80 provided by laav. This
is one Of the sensible measures they
passed aud Ole which viii forever
pat to rect the only mootsd ques-
tion--the Gle that has furnished tsae
excuse for 8et gralting statehood 10
soath Dakota. II has bsen fally
demonstrated that the conflicting
interests Of the t8o sections of the
territory will be constant source
u pickering and e0nbeIitien--of
eriinination aud denomination, con
sta8tly interfering with all measures
for tie good of the whole people
and degeneratii.g The government
into mere scramble for sectional
pnedominasee in It's affairs, II the
people want continuance Of the
dlsgnseeful scenes Of the past, they
will vote against The division, il
they want a.g0od, harmonious g0f-
ernment they viii vote for II. The
matter is oos IN their eva hands
and we have no fears Of the result.
The thinking man, familiar with
:i9e manner IN which the great rail-
WAY corporations Of the north have
dominated the politics OF the terri
tory, will nor fall 70 east ms ballot
for division aud tlias cut the south
of from taiseyil aud place tie north
with the power hi is owp hands to
eentrol theRl. As It has been, By
manipulating q Few men IN the
south, when malogitles were against
.aem IN the members Of the Assem-
bis from the north, the Northern
pseife company has always been
able 10 eoutr0l the Legislature ard
secure such iaEs as bess suited them.
Bg eontining them TO their Own sec
ton, the people Will be able 10 con
troll them easily, put a stop TO their
arrogance and bring them TO a
wholesome respect for the law. The
south 9iil be able 10 accomplish the
same result With her roads. and the
greatest COCO be accomplished for
! the people Of both territories. IL Is
q long sep IN the right direction -
one that will enable the people to
sever the Gordon knot that has, for
- years, bound us hand aio foot
and deprived us O the rights Of
American citizenship.
